Emirates age limit

Hi :) The minimum age in Emirates is 21 at the date of joing and I just wonder if that is true that they prefer older candidates like 23 and up. Actually I don;t know anybody who works for EK and has 21 years. Is that true?:)

I heard a while ago that they were thinking of putting the minimum age up because they had a high turnover of 21/22 year old cabin crew. They pay a fortune bringing people to Dubai, training them and giving them accommodation and they are too young to cope with the culture shock or being so far away from home and leave. Meaning Emirates has to spend all that money again on someone else to replace them........ but so far the minimum age is still 21. Maybe they just changed things to make sure only mature 21 years old can make it through the selection process?

For the record most people I know at Emirates joined when they were 21 - 23.
